Key Features
- Gravel Tyre Pattern — The aggressive gravel tread design provides exceptional bite and grip on loose, rocky, and mixed ground surfaces, making these tyres perfect for realistic trail driving and technical rock crawling courses where standard slick tyres would lose traction.
- Pre-Mounted Configuration — These tyres arrive already mounted to the wheels, eliminating the need for manual installation and ensuring perfect balance and fitment every time you use them, reducing setup time and potential assembly errors.
- FTX Ruffneck Compatibility — Engineered specifically for the FTX Ruffneck 1/10 brushless 4WD trail RTR platform, these wheels and tyres integrate seamlessly with your existing suspension and drive geometry for optimal performance without any modification required.
- Durable Construction — Manufactured using quality rubber compound and reinforced wheel construction, these mounted sets withstand the rigours of aggressive trail driving, rocky terrain, and extended off-road sessions without premature wear or damage.
- Realistic Scale Appearance — The gravel tyre pattern adds authentic detail to your 1/10 scale trail machine, enhancing the visual realism of your RC vehicle and improving the overall scale appearance when driving on natural outdoor terrain.
- Pair Included — This product includes a complete pair of mounted wheels, allowing you to upgrade either the front or rear axle, or rotate your existing tyres for extended rubber life across multiple sets.
Technical Performance
The FTX Ruffneck Mounted Gravel Tyre and Wheels set represents a significant upgrade to the grip and performance characteristics of the Ruffneck 1/10 brushless 4WD trail crawler platform. These tyres are engineered specifically for trail driving applications where traction on loose, rocky, and mixed terrain is critical to performance. The gravel tread pattern features multiple sipes and bite points that dig into loose soil, gravel, and rocky surfaces, providing substantially improved grip compared to road-oriented or slick tyres. The rubber compound is formulated to remain pliable across a wide range of outdoor temperatures, ensuring consistent performance whether you're driving in spring sunshine, autumn rain, or cooler winter conditions typical of the UK climate. The pre-mounted design means the wheels and tyres are balanced and aligned at the factory, guaranteeing true running and eliminating run-out issues that can develop during manual assembly. These mounted sets are compatible with the FTX5472OR and FTX5472BL variants of the Ruffneck, covering both the orange and blue colour options available in the current range. The wheel and tyre combination is designed to maintain proper ground clearance while improving overall traction, making them ideal for upgrading the factory rubber that comes standard with ready-to-run RC trail models.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these gravel tyres fit my FTX Ruffneck trail crawler? — Yes, these mounted gravel tyres are specifically engineered for the FTX Ruffneck 1/10 brushless 4WD trail RTR platform. They are compatible with both the orange (FTX5472OR) and blue (FTX5472BL) variants of the Ruffneck, and will integrate seamlessly with your existing suspension and drive train without any modification required.
- Do I need to install these tyres myself? — No, these tyres arrive pre-mounted to the wheels, meaning they are ready to fit directly to your Ruffneck without any assembly, balancing, or installation work. Simply remove your existing tyres and wheels and fit these mounted sets to your axles.
- What is the advantage of gravel tyres over standard slick tyres? — Gravel tyres feature an aggressive tread pattern with multiple bite points and sipes that dig into loose soil, sand, gravel, and rocky terrain, providing dramatically improved traction compared to smooth road-oriented tyres. This makes them essential for realistic trail driving, technical rock crawling, and off-road courses where grip on natural surfaces is critical to performance.
- Can I use these tyres on road surfaces? — While you can run these tyres on tarmac and concrete, they are optimised for off-road use and will experience increased wear when driven extensively on hard road surfaces. They are best suited to natural terrain, trails, gravel, grass, and rocky courses where the tread pattern can be fully utilised.
- Is this a complete tyre and wheel set? — Yes, this product includes a pair of fully assembled and mounted wheels with gravel tyres ready to fit to your Ruffneck. No additional components, assembly, or separate purchases are needed to install these on your trail crawler.
- Why should I upgrade my factory Ruffneck tyres? — The gravel tyre pattern significantly improves traction on loose and rocky terrain compared to the standard factory tyres supplied with most ready-to-run RC models. Upgrading to these specialist gravel tyres will noticeably enhance your trail driving experience, improve climb ability on steep terrain, and provide better control on technical courses.
